CHANDLER, AZ — A multi-agency operation targeting online predators resulted in 17 arrests for 43 sex-related felony crimes, Chandler Police announced Saturday morning.
Police officials say it was a three-week operation.
This phase of the joint op was run from January 24th- January 26th.
Officers say because of events like the Super Bowl, Waste Management Phoenix Open, and the Barrett-Jackson Autoshow drawing large crowds, more opportunities could be created for sex-trafficking-related activities.
